What to know
YouTube is putting some AI regulations in place… This is some good and unexpected news from a tech company. The site will now require “creators to indicate when they’ve uploaded AI-generated content,” and add “ways to request that content that ‘simulates an identifiable individual’ or ‘mimics an artist’s unique singing or rapping voice’ get pulled down.” This is the type of protections we need to see from social media and video sharing sites. Hopefully TikTok and Meta follow suit. 👏
Edith Piaf AI-generated biopic in the works at Warner Music… Speaking of AI, I bet a lot of people are going to find this problematic. 60 years after her death, the legendary singer is getting revived in a new film, thanks to a partnership between Warner Music and her estate. The movie will be “narrated by an AI-generated facsimile of Piaf’s voice” use AI to generate her image as well. The project will also include animation and real-life footage of Piaf — so perhaps this is more of a drama/docu hybrid? It’s unclear. 🇫🇷
Marvel is “taking stock” amid Marvels failure… Good! They seem to be taking “quantity over quality” to heart, as the studio is only releasing one movie in theaters next year. Also the rumor is Marvel is “moving away” from Jonathan Majors’ Kang — which isn’t a bad idea. 💥
